What really gave the dish a kick was the grilled salmon Hillary contributed. I've loved how much fish and seafood I eat over here! I topped of the plate with a picturesque trio of basil leaves for aesthetics. Miraculously, nothing went wrong and the dinner was a success!
And I had my Tide To-Go pen ready when I dropped pasta on my shirt! Saved by the pen once again - that thing has been one of the best purchases I made before leaving :) It has rescued me from pizza sauce, chocolate gelato, diet coke, and now pesto sauce.
Besides improving my culinary skills, I have also been hard at work on final projects for my art class (I can't wait to show them to you all when I get back!) and enjoying the city of Lugano whenever I get a spare moment (which isn't often, but I'll take what I can get!). Yesterday Hillary and I went shopping and I bought my first clothing items of the trip - be proud! I had withstood the many temptations for over a month and since the Swiss franc is worth about 85 cents in U.S. dollars, I was also getting more for my money. We had a blast trying on foreign fashion and I got some fun new clothes to breathe new life into my now well-worn wardrobe. As silly as it is, just adding a few new fun pieces to the mix excited us more than I can express!And finally, here are a few shots that express just how tired we are - and how much fun we have when the tiredness reaches new levels!
I love my hall mates (L-R): Joy, Lizzie, me, and Hillary
That's all for now - more later!Baci,
